Dancing with the Dead: Red Pine and the Art of Translation

A master of ancient Chinese poetry and the search for a lost tradition

IMDbDocumentary

The film follows Bill’s adventures as a child of a bank robber, raised in a gilded household, who turned his back on American devotion to materialism and went off to live in monasteries and mountains in Taiwan. He pursued a fascination with Buddhism and poetry and traveled to remote regions of China to rediscover an ancient tradition of mountain hermits vital to Chinese culture.
